The College Fund has been established for worthy Jewish students on the Monterey Peninsula who are being admitted to a four-year college. Awards are made in May and are presented at the student’s high school awards banquet and are recognized at the Senior Shabbat. We honor students who consistently show outstanding academic work, leadership, community dedication and values of Jewish life with a financial reward and community recognition.

We have awarded 78 scholarships since 1993 when we first started this wonderful endeavor. The committee is grateful to the wonderful contributors who have helped establish and have sustained this fund since its inception. Now, as the deadline arrives, we hope you will consider supporting this wonderful cause with your generous donation. These funds go directly to the students and your contribution is tax deductible.
